VZDĚLÁVACÍ AKTIVITY

• • BELGIE

  • YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT?

    The students will familiarize themselves with current environmental problems by watching a scientific documentary, after which they will question their own consumption pattern and calculate their own environmental footprint. In a presentation the results of the participating countries will be compared. Afterwards they will start looking for ways to reduce their own environmental footprint, especially with regard to food. Farm visits will help them discover different agricultural methods. Furthermore, they will go to the European Parliament to get insight in the EU’s Agricultural Policy. They will also talk to these MEP’s about the EU’s agricultural choices. Besides that they will visit several supermarkets and smaller shops to compare the sustainability of food items. In conclusion, with their new acquires knowledge they will put together an environmentally friendly meal. They will write recipes and cook these dishes for our school’s students and teachers.

    Day 1, Monday, 19^th February 2018

    In the morning, all students and teachers met at school, to get to know one another through ice breaking activities and games. Afterwards the theme of the week “Europe and sustainable development” was presented to the students.

    Students then gave short presentations and introduced their homework assignments: Present the share of the different energies (renewable or not) in your country (percentage, Diagram ...) as well as projects for the next ten years. Present also what is already in place in your institution regarding renewable energies.

    In the afternoon, students watched videos about renewable and fossil energy and took notes about the classification of renewable and non-renewable energies. Afterwards there was a discussion about what should be done to improve the energy transition and what every student and the whole community could do in our schools to improve the situation. This activity was followed and concluded by a quiz on how to reduce our energy consumption.

    Day 2, Tuesday, 20^th February 2018

    In the morning, all students and teachers met at school. Students were instructed to accomplish experiments about serial and bypass circuits. They experimented in groups on the working of a wind turbine and a hydraulic dam. Afterwards they studied an alternator. The objective was, to create a circuit to light a lamp without battery or generator by using supplied material.

    In the afternoon, students manufactured in small mixed groups models of wind turbines or hydraulic dams. To conclude the activities all students studied photovoltaic panels, schematized and made a circuit to light an LED and studied the influence of the inclination of the panel on the intensity of the LED.

    With the help of the teacher´s explanations, they were able to draw the energy chains of a wind turbine, a hydraulic dam and a photovoltaic panel.

    Day 3, Wednesday, 21^st February 2018

    In the morning, all students and teachers got together at school to take a bus to Lille and there was a visit to the Xperium/Lilliad – City of science Villeneuve d´Ascq planned.

  • "Circular Economy"

    Day 1, Monday, 8^th October 2018

    The students and the teachers met at school at 8:00. They had a tour round the school with the headmaster Marcel Kramer. The ice breaking games started at 10:00. At 13.00 an introductory workshop called What about circular economy? held by Mr. Jeannot Schroeder took place. The students worked in groups of 6 and were asked to do a circular economy jigsaw puzzle. The aim was to get familiar with the concept of circular economy. They also had to think about a specific product, such as a drilling machine, from the perspective of circular economy. Some of the questions they had to ponder were: Do you need to buy this product and have it at home? Would it be better to share one in the neighbourhood? One of the themes was recycling vs. upcycling. The students learned that the main problem is not a lack of energy but the waste and what we do with it.

    Day 2, Tuesday 9^th October 2018

    At 8:10 the teams travelled to the nearby village Colmar-Berg where they visited a recycling and disposal plant called SuperDrecksKëscht. The students split into two teams. One team had a tour round the factory where they could see how many different types of dangerous waste are produced and that it is sometimes very difficult to dispose of it. The other team worked in smaller groups. They took part in four workshops. The aim was to raise their awareness about the way certain types of products and waste, such as oil, paper, plastics, metal, are recycled. 

    In the afternoon, the students visited Robin - a company producing paint. The students learned that paint is actually very difficult to recycle and that only a small fraction of the company’s products can be recycled. The other types must be burnt. Then they had a tour round the factory and saw how paint is produced and stored.

    Day 3, Wednesday 10^th October

    It was the day of practical workshops aimed at upcycling. The students worked in four mixed-nationality groups. Two groups made clothes from old clothing items, one worked on mosaic decorations from broken tiles and the third group created push films (animated moving pictures). Through the activities, they learned that used materials can be turned into something useful and/or valuable again (upcycling). The push movies were to summarize what the students had learned so far.

    In the afternoon, they went to the City of Luxembourg, where they had a guided tour round the capital. This was delivered in English by two professional tour guides. They learned some facts about the city’s history and the most popular places of interest. In the evening all the participants went out for bowling and dinner to reinforce the intercultural exchange.

    Day 4, Thursday 11^th October

    In the morning, the students prepared questions for the round table. First, they googled the names of the speakers and they learned about their professional and/or political backgrounds. They discovered, for example, that one of them was a former member of the European Parliament - Mr. Claude Turmes.

    During the discussion  held in the school theatre later in the day, the students asked the prepared questions. Some of the subjects to discuss were sustainable buildings, mobility and transport (i.e. cars), plastic waste, and sharing economy. The headmaster of the school Marcel Kramer, also one of the speakers at the round table, had a few important points to add to the topic. For example, he expressed his wish for the school to recycle and upcycle more. Furthermore, he promised that in order to reduce the plastic waste, the school will buy water fountains.

    Day 5, Friday 12^th October

     In the morning, the students  worked on Ipads creating videos about the project, i.e what they learned and experienced throughout the whole week and what they aim to change in the future.  At this point, they learned how to use different types of software, such as Spark Video. Later in the day, they presented the videos in the school cinema. The students, as well as the teachers, also took a Kahoot quiz, which summarized the knowledge attained during the whole activity. Finally, the activity was evaluated by the students and the teachers. Every student and teacher got a pencil case made of banners handmade by autistic people.
